 ahhhh, of course.  got it.  yes.  that's bad.  so, anyone who's ever
posted to the list - or in fact *any* list to which neal has ever been
subscribed - would be... yeah i get it now.  that's not good.

 neal, if your marketing person needs to be persuaded that they're
doing the wrong thing by using mailchimp, all you need to tell him is
that he's managed to piss off nearly 300 people whose good-will it
would be essential to have.  by using mailchimp it's done the
*opposite* of precisely the advice that's given to crowdfunding
campaigns: ask people *personally* to spread the word.
